CellFreakz - cellular phone trend updated

During last 2 years, a few manufacturers have released military standard cellphones. In plain English, these phones are claimed to have passed awful tests, such as dipping into 1 meter deep of water for 30 minutes, exposed to simulated rain for 30 minutes, dropped into concrete from 1 to 1.5 meter height, and dust proof. Several names are: Sonim, Sanyo, and now Motorola.

Hmm, not everyweek you run get soaked with heavy downpour, into flood, face earthquake, or bump your car to a tree, but still this kind of phones can serve well if you are in outdoor activity for certain period of times. One of them is Motorola i365IS. "I.S" here means "Intrinsically Safe".

This means the phone can witstand quite extreme situations for normal people you and me. More of what military standard is all about can be find in this interesting old post from Howard forum. And check Sprint news release about Motorola i365 here.

So if you're planning to go on safari in Africa, or hiking in Montana, or just camping out when rains can fall, then Moto i365IS can be considered. But if you're just ordinary office or homey guy, then you can consider more stylish military standard Motorola Adventure V750.
